High School Reunion

By Kimberly Dean

Book Overview

Roma's ten-year high school reunion is approaching fast, and she's not ready. She knows it's shallow, but she wants to set her old classmates on their ears -- especially the toxic Ellie, who bullied her in the old days. She has a good job but she needs the whole package if she's going to make that killer entrance, including having a toned body, a great outfit, and, most importantly, a mouthwatering guy on her arm. An eventful visit to the gym shows her that she may be able to kill two birds with one stone, as personal trainer Jake turns out to be the perfect eye candy she needs. A course of hard training begins, with Roma eager to impress Jake-but what are his plans? She can't help noticing that he flirts with all his female clients. There's one particular client who could ruin all of Roma's plans-and she's getting far too close to Roma's quarry.

High School Reunion

Roma Hanson is desperate to get into shape for her high school reunion. She is determined to walk in and knock their socks off. One person in particular tortured her, and she wants to make Ellie eat her hateful words. Roma decides that a gym is the place for her. She needs someone that will push her and motivate her. Proving that being a klutz is not something she outgrew, she literally falls into the gym and unbeknownst to her into, the owner himself, Jake Logan. Jake and Roma both feel an instant attraction, but Jake also realizes she doesn't realize how beautiful she already is. Jake can't stay away from the beautiful disaster, so he offers to train her personally in exchange for her doing his books. Roma feels it is a fair trade, and so the journey begins. Between the training sessions and accounting work she does for him, they can't keep their hands off each other. Getting ready for her reunion has never been so appealing. This was a nice comedic read. Jake and Roma have chemistry to spare, and are good together. The secondary characters Hawk and Missy are also a great addition. I have a note to the editor. Get a dictionary and get the story straight. On the back cover Roma's high school nemesis is listed as Cindy when it is actually Ellie. The misspelled words were pathetic. Spell check would have probably caught the majority of them. If I can pick out grammar errors, they are obvious.

Entertaining read

A typical small town girl wins hunky stud and then shows him off to all teh girls that snubbed her in high school during the local reunion. this was an entertaining red with just enough sex to be classified adult entertainment and a borderline storyline that kept me turning the pages. The characters interacted well in the story and the predictable ending was still welcome.

Hilariously Fun and Sexy Reading

Kimberly Dean's books have always been a plus for me and "High School Reunion" was no exception. High school is almost always a traumatic experience at some point for teens and I know I idenified with the main character's need to prove herself to her old classmates. Roma was the typical awkward klutz in high school and unfortunately paid for it through the mean spirited attacks of the school's head cheerleader, Ellie. Ten years later, Roma has three months to get in shape for their high school reunion. With no willpower to call her own and little self confidence, Jake's Gym is her answer to that dilemma. Putting down her doubts long enough to enter the gym, she immediately meets Jake, the owner, but in a very unconventional way. After both have picked themselves off the floor, Roma is soon on her way to a better bod, better self-confidence and possibly a sexy to-die-for trainer. Jake didn't know what hit him at first, but he's not about to let the blonde dynamo out of his sight. When he finds out she's an accountant to boot he jumps on the opportunity to trade services - he'll train her for the reunion while she trains his financials into some semblance of order. Roma agrees and soon the gym is heating up with more than just sweat. Overall the book was endearingly sweet and a lot of fun to read. Roma's character was too funny. Down to earth, with a great sense of humor, she's nevertheless still anxious to prove she's not still some geeky, klutzy girl anymore. She pulls it off with enormous class and style. Jake sees right through her insecurities to the crux of the matter. He's gorgeous, confident and knows where he wants Roma - in his heart. Top their steamy storyline off with two equally interesting supporting characters and "High School Reunion" makes for a very satisfying read. There's more than meets the eye going on at Jake's Gym and it's all good. I came out very pleased with Dean's latest contemporary and all I can say is she needs to keep 'em coming. Great keeper shelf material.
